René Magritte's, The Treachery of Images
surrealism
Marcel Duchamp's, Fountain
dada
Sandy Skogland's, Revenge of the Goldfish

Joseph Stella's, Telegraph Pole
Georgia O'Keeffe's, Ram's Head White Hollyhock and Little Hills

Piet Mondrian's, Composition II in Red, Blue and Yellow
Mark Grotjahn's, Untitled (Full Color Butterfly 772)
Jessica Langston's, Pen and Ink

Kees van Dongen's, Woman with Large Hat
Henri Matisse's, Les toits de Collioure

Jackson Pollock's, No. 5
Barnett Newman's, Whose Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue?
more formalist
Helen Frankenthaler's, Mountains and Sea

Altermodernism
[2005 onwards]
Bob and Roberts Smith's, Off Voice Fly Tip
Charles Avery's, Aleph Null Head
Altermodernism is art that is made in a reaction to standardisation and commercialism.
